Yes, a lot.

One is a track focused tyre and a decent reputation.

Whereas, the other isn't...

Ok cheers for that any other tyres you would recommend

Is it for road or track use?

For road I would go for Michelin Pilot Super Sports and for track, Toyo 888's.

[Wattsym12]

I need 215 40 17 only toyos I can get are proxys t1r or 4e and yes track use

[Trev450]

Given the size you require (888's not available) and for track use I would go for Yoko AD08R's

Toyo T1-r's should be avoided at all costs imo.

I'd get ad08r's too if i was a millionaire.

Cheers for all the replies just bought some part worn Dunlop slicks

For future reference I run 215/45/17 on my '99 Impreza, more selection than the 40 section, they do not rub anywhere and as a bonus the speedo read closer to true.

So what do you use on your Evo that I presume is circa at least 300 bhp?

I use Eagle f1's on road, part worn Yoko AO48's on track. Also have a set of wet cut slicks.

It's really easy to find great bargains on the owners club forums, some people sell their r888's etc with 3mm+ of tread left :S

I'm a bit confused here. You say you use Eagle F1's for the road, which incidently I do as well, but have hinted at AD08's costing a fortune. The last time I looked they wern't much more than the F1's.

I sgree though you can pick up some good bargains, but the op didn't indicate that was his priority.

AD08r's are £189 per corner on camskill for a 235/40/18, eagle f1 asy 2's are £116. Massive difference IMO.

[Trev450]

£164 on Tyreleaders but point taken.

Federal 595 RSR awesome tyre for track work especially dry weather. Bridgestone RE070 also good all weather track tyre. Avoid Toyo T1R for track work.
